Large H/Small H Variety: The matrix for the 1902 coinage was fully dated with the mint mark added to individual dies. The dies were prepared in the Royal Mint and sent to the Mint Birmingham Ltd. for striking. Two different font sizes were used to produce the "H" mint mark on the dies at the Royal Mint. This variety is similar to the Large H variety, though thinner.
